What California’s Vaccine Mandates Mean for LibertyExtending a public emergency and instilling mass fear are effective techniques for amassing power.

As COVID-19 vaccine mandates are rescinded nationwide, California Democrats strive to make them permanent.
Seven Democrats in the state legislature introduced or co-authored seven bills in the first six and a half weeks of this year’s session that would increase the state’s power over medical decisions. The Vaccine Work Group includes assemblymembers Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Evan Low, Akilah Weber, and Buffy Wicks, and Senators Josh Newman, Richard Pan, and Scott Wiener.
The group’s proposals ignore scientific data, reflect the pharmaceutical corporations’ influence on state legislatures, and expose the Democrats’ tactic of exploiting emergencies to centralize power.

Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans on February 17 for “a brand new unit in state government working full time on” defusing alleged misinformation about COVID-19. Newsom also said he has members of the Department of Health and Human Services “battling in the trenches and on social media trying to push back.”
During his announcement, Newsom called conservative outlets part of a “propaganda machine.” Specifically, he called One America News Network a “great disinformation spreader” and dismissed Fox News’ “propaganda lineup.”
Wicks withdrew AB 1993 on March 29, less than 24 hours from its first reading in a committee hearing. But since Democrats hold three-quarters of the seats in the legislature, and since Newsom used the pandemic to impose arbitrary restrictions for nearly two years, the working group’s remaining bills easily could become law.
If that happens, Democrats will have dismissed the very science they claim to revere. Four of the bills concern children and teenagers, yet The Lancet, to name just one reputable source, has indicated that children are far less likely to contract COVID-19 due to natural immunity.
In June, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) published data showing the vaccine’s dangers for young people. Heart problems increased dramatically for 12-to-17-year olds who received a second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. A second study published in September revealed similar findings. In both studies, boys experienced an especially higher risk.
